Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!!

We tried to talk him into sleeping in.

Woke all the kids up around 8 and opened present and made him breakfast.

Had a big yummy breakfast.

Then I had the kids go clean their rooms and bring me their laundry and get ready for the day.

Dad was ordered to take it easy and ended up watching Top Gun :)

After lunch we hopped in the car and headed to the Nampa Warhawk Museum.

It was really cool.

Something dad has been wanting to do and talked about a lot.

Finally, I told him we were going :)

He had a lot of fun reading and looking and teaching history to the kids.

There are some really cool things there.

The kids also picked up some things in the gift shop, which they were excited about.

They also got free Boise Bee posters.

Port was super excited about the whole thing.

He was all dressed up to go, too.

And, as usual, he was a hit with the people running the museum :)

We came home for a little bit.

I re-potted the plants into the kids pots they had painted.

They are really excited to have them in their rooms.

I will have to remember to take pictures of them to post.

Then we headed out to Red Robin for dinner.

It was super busy tonight.

But we got our favorite corner booth, and it was a fun time.

Started with some grumpy teenage and preteen fighting stuff......what's new?????

But things got better and it was a fun night.

Port has had a rough day.

Dad and I knew he wasn't feeling good.

But he didn't have a fever, he was just being really mean.

Well, at Red Robin he started complaining about this ear :(

Poor kid.

I am sure he has an ear infection.

On the way home we stopped and got him some ear drops.

And then got him some ibuprofen when we got home.

He is feeling better now.

I hope it doesn't hurt him too bad in the morning :(

But overall, I think it was a fun birthday for Daddy.

Another year older, and wiser too!

 Lawn darts from the boy......

They are both pretty excited :)

These two pictures crack me up.

Like father, like son.

Dad is always teaching us stuff.....telling stories, etc.

Looks like Port has picked up on it, and wants to be a teacher too :)

Baby update.

These little ones are just amazing little miracles!

Cole had the breathing tube taken out a couple days ago.

And he has had on the full mask.

He has hated it!

Well, today they finally tried to switch it out for the canula stuff.....

And everything got better.

He wasn't agitated, Brooke said you could even hear him coo every now and then.

Look at those big born eyes!!!!

He is really a fighter!

Little Kaiya is putting on weight like a champ!

She is doing so well!

She was happy to see her mama today.

April lives about 2 hours from the hospital and has to figure out the going in between with her daughter Lily being in school, her husbands work, etc.

So they all got to get there this weekend.

So happy for how good things are going for them.

Just keep gaining weight Kaiya so you can go home with you mama!!!!
